Question

`(1)/(2) (5x - 9 ) = 2 ((1)/(3) + 6 )`

Answer 1

Answer: 103/15

Explanation:

We can simplify the right-hand side to be
`2 \left((1)/(3)+6 \right)=2 \left((19)/(3) \right)=(38)/(3)`.

This means we need to solve:

`(1)/(2)(5x-9)=(38)/(3)\\5x-9=(76)/(3)\\5x=(103)/(3)\\x=\boxed{(103)/(15)}`
